Knowing Your Bread Pan Capacity

Knowing your breadmaker’s loaf capacity will enable you to find

recipes of any variety on the Internet for free.
It will also keep you from adding too much flour, etc. which could
cause rising dough to flow over the sides of your bread pan, creating
quite a mess and if left unattended, quite a bit of smoke when the
final “bake” cycle begins.
Hope you find this information helpful.

Remove your bread pan from your breadmaker.

Using a one-cup (8oz) liquid measure, fill your bread pan with water.

Note: Be certain to use a "liquid" measuring cup.

A “liquid” measuring cup is clear and displays an imprinted scale
down its side.

As you fill your bread pan with water, count the total number of 8 oz
cups it takes to fill your bread pan to the very rim.

You should know that breadmaker manufacturers do not all

universally agree, but generally speaking…

if it holds between 7 & 10 it’s a 1.0 lb/500 g loaf pan

if it holds exactly 10 it’s a 1.25 lb/600 g loaf pan
if it holds between 10 & 11 it’s a 1.5 lb/700 g loaf pan
if it holds between 11 & 13 it’s a 2.0 lb/900 g loaf pan
if it holds between 13 & 15 it’s a 2.5 lb/1100 g loaf pan
if it holds between 15 & 17 it’s a 3.0 lb/1300 g loaf pan

And when searching for a free bread machine recipes on the

Internet,
breadmaker manufacturers do not all universally agree, but generally
speaking…
 a bread recipe for use in a 1.0 lb/500 g breadmaker should never
exceed 2-1/4 total cups of flour
a bread recipe for use in a 1.25 lb/600 g breadmaker should never
exceed 2-1/2 total cups of flour
a bread recipe for use in a 1.5 lb/700 g loaf breadmaker should never
exceed 3-1/4 total cups of flour
a bread recipe for use in a 2.0 lb/900 g loaf breadmaker should never
exceed 4-1/4 total cups of flour
a bread recipe for use in a 2.5 lb/1100 g loaf breadmaker should
never exceed 5-1/4 total cups of flour
a bread recipe for use in a 3.0 lb/1300 g loaf breadmaker should
never exceed 6-1/4 total cups of flour

The “cups” of flour I’m referring to here ARE NOT to be measured

using the clear “liquid” measure previously mentioned. Instead use a
standard “dry” measuring cup when measuring dry ingredients. And
be sure to level-off the top of each and every dry ingredient
measurement with a butter knife, even the ones measured out in
teaspoons and tablespoons.

Warning:
When testing a new bread recipe in your breadmaker, it’s always best
that you not leave your breadmaker unattended.
